The 50 best places to work for business students around the world

• Google is the best place to work according to Gen Z business students around the world despite being a technology first company.
• Amazon, despite its recent problems, has made it into the list thanks to its brand pillars and getting their message out to university students.
• Management and consultancy firms still form a majority of the list for business students.

Do you look for work-life balance or job security when going in to a job? Or is a creative environment that fosters your innovation the priority?

A new report from Universum took those career goals and asked 110,834 business students which companies they would want to work for once they graduate. In order for company to make it onto the list they had to tie in with two key aspects of student aspirations, their career goals and their brand perception.

“This year companies like Amazon, Adidas and Boston Consulting Group demonstrate that by focusing on the employer value proposition and getting the message out to university students, an organisation that transform its ability to recruit top talent,” says Petter Nylander, the CEO of Universum.

At the top of the list is Google, the silicon valley tech giant that’s been making waves all over the world. It’s interesting to note that despite being a technology company, it’s the most preferred place to work for business students.

Because, the other four companies in the top 5 - Goldman Sachs, Ernst & Young, Deloitte and KPMG - are all management and consultancy firms.
